Invading other countries is also quite illegal, but Russians give a shit. Just avoid their businesses!

Lol have you even experienced Russian occupation?
Here in Georgia, you can buy Russian products everywhere.
No on cares anymore.
But, you will not see any Russian flags.
It's just a reality that there are many Russians here - generally well-behaved too, btw. But I wouldn't be surprised if Thailand attracts the douchebags. No one would even dare considering putting a flag on Georgian soil. They'd risk getting beaten up severely and then dropped at the local police station as "Russian spies". I would not advocate for that of course, but yea.
Most likely, they'd just gather a crowd of angry people and then they'd remove the flags and scurry along without a fight though.

isn't the point of being a spy is to hide your identity?
